Officials said the truck had a brake fire when it pulled up shortly after 3 a.m. to the diesel pumps at the New Stanton service plaza at milepost 77.6 westbound. The driver said he wasn’t aware of the fire.

The flames tore through the truck, which officials said was hauling paper, and caused significant damage to the pumps near it.

The fire burned for about 30 minutes before firefighters were able to put it out. No one was hurt.

The service plaza was fully closed as a precaution until shortly after 5:30 a.m., at which point restaurant and restroom services resumed.

Turnpike officials said gasoline service will not be restored until after the tractor-trailer is removed. Regular gasoline will be restored first, but an engineer is needed before diesel fuel can be pumped again.
